Quality Control Engineer – EV Infrastructure & Construction Projects
We’re looking for a hands‑on Quality Control Engineer with a strong background in construction, electrical infrastructure, data centres, utilities, or large‑scale commercial projects to oversee quality assurance across EV charging infrastructure projects nationwide.
